Chapter 269: I'm a Nice Guy

Two cannibal kings had arrived, with one of them being a second-stage King . Even when facing two cannibal kings, Liang Zhuangmin was still able to protect himself, but his speed made it very hard for him to actually escape them .

"You really think you can eat me?" Liang Zhuangmin sneered and erupted with power . His body suddenly enlarged, his muscles becoming even more explosive . With his pair of axes, he started releasing overbearing axe energies at the two cannibal kings, forcing them to reduce the aggression of their attacks .

Even when faced with a disadvantage, cannibals would never escape . They kept Liang Zhuangmin surrounded, trying to take him down . As for Liang Zhuangmin, the longer the battle dragged on, the more valiant he seemed . His axe technique was extremely exquisite, allowing him to stand his ground against two cannibal kings at the same time .

If it wasn't for the advantage the two cannibal kings had due to their ability of flight, Liang Zhuangmin would have killed them by now . But it was not like Liang Zhuangmin was completely helpless against them . He suddenly revealed an opening and collapsed to the ground, causing one of the cannibal kings to dive down trying to finish him off .

Suddenly, Liang Zhuangmin swung his two axes at the incoming cannibal king . The cannibal king tried to block the attack, but he failed to endure the overbearing strength of the axes . Thus, two terrible cuts were left on his chest .

Liang Zhuangmin was able to pull off his plan successfully, but the cannibal king hit him with his final attack—the cannibal had roared before his death, sending out a wave of brutal energy that invaded Liang Zhuangmin's body and started corroding his mind .

On top of that, the other cannibal king had also resumed attacking Liang Zhuangmin, smashing his energy barrier apart in order to finish him off .

Liang Zhuangmin had astonishing willpower . Even as he resisted the brutal energy invasion, he still faced the other cannibal king tenaciously . Unfortunately, with the condition he was in, the prospects of him surviving was rather low .

"God damn it! Am I fated to die here?" roared Liang Zhuangmin in indignation .

The cannibal king's bone club struck him, sending him crashing toward a pile of rocks while coughing up blood without stop .

"Roar!"

The cannibal king roared before charging at Liang Zhuangmin again . He was planning to rip Liang Zhuangmin apart alive . During this moment of crisis, a silhouette appeared out of nowhere . Saber energy streaked through the air straight toward the cannibal king .

As a response, the cannibal king surrounded his body with barriers formed of multiple layers of brutal energy . Alas, that slash had an extraordinary might and was able to instantly slice through the barriers before landing squarely on the cannibal king's back . Accompanied by a wail, the cannibal king rolled to the side .

"Die!" The newcomer was none other than Xiang Shaoyun . With a roar, he continued swinging his saber, sending powerful saber intent attacks toward the cannibal king .

Here in the Land of Soul Springs, Xiang Shaoyun was unable to borrow the power of natural lightning for some reason . However, the innate purple lightning within him was enough for him to deal with this second-stage King Realm cannibal . He pressed on after the successful first hit with an unending wave of attacks, not giving the cannibal king any respite .

Although the cannibal king had been hit by the first slash, it did not mean that he was completely helpless now . On the contrary, he turned even more ferocious after sustaining the injury . He roared furiously, sending a wave of even more powerful brutal energy wrapping around Xiang Shaoyun's body .

Xiang Shaoyun completely ignored the brutal energy and pushed the power of his saber intent to the peak . Combined with the Lightning Slash From The Clear Sky, even facing this cannibal king head-on was possible for him . The two clashed repeatedly, and eventually, the injured cannibal king was forced into retreat . He flew into the sky in his attempt to avoid Xiang Shaoyun's attack .

Right this moment, Xiong Bao descended from the sky . When the cannibal king saw Xiong Bao, he quickly cried for help . Xiong Bao responded and quickly flew toward the cannibal king only to suddenly attack, smashing the head of the cannibal king apart . Even at his death, the second-stage King Realm cannibal still had no idea what had happened .

After killing the cannibal king, Xiong Bao vanished again . Xiang Shaoyun had no intention to fully reveal this card of his . As for the other cannibal king that was nearly dead due to Liang Zhuangmin's attack, he was finished off by Xiang Shaoyun .

After dealing with the two cannibal kings, Xiang Shaoyun went over toward the badly injured Liang Zhuangmin . Liang Zhuangmin was trying his best to control his mental state to no avail . His entire mind was flooded by the effect of the brutal energy . The moment Xiang Shaoyun approached, Liang Zhuangmin started howling and dragged his badly injured body forward, trying to attack Xiang Shaoyun . But due to the injuries he had sustained, his combat prowess had dropped significantly .

"Shut up already," said Xiang Shaoyun as he gripped Liang Zhuangmin's arm before activating the Nether Dragon Soul Headband to draw all the brutal energy out of Liang Zhuangmin .

The Nether Dragon Soul Headband did not disappoint, as it was still able to devour the brutal energy that was not in Xiang Shaoyun's body . After the brutal energy was cleared from Liang Zhuangmin, the clarity in his eyes returned as he looked at Xiang Shaoyun with gratitude on his face .

Xiang Shaoyun spoke before Liang Zhuangmin could say anything, "You are badly injured . Heal up first . We'll speak later . "

Liang Zhuangmin nodded before taking out a healing pill and a stalk of spirit medicine to heal himself . He entered meditation right where he was . Since Xiang Shaoyun was already helping, he decided to finish the job and stand there as a guard .

For reasons unknown to even Xiang Shaoyun himself, he had helped this Liang Zhuangmin . Perhaps he was simply feeling apologetic for having taken over the first-class estate . He also commanded Xiong Bao to stop the other cannibals heading this way before having him return to the lair as well .

Xiang Shaoyun would wait until the right time before making a move on the earthstone heart . Liang Zhuangmin was well aware that it wasn't wise to stay here for long . Thus, after a slight recovery, he stopped his meditation and said, "I did not expect you would actually help me . "

"Hehe, well, I'm a nice guy," said Xiang Shaoyun .

"No matter what, I have to thank you," said Liang Zhuangmin . "I will definitely repay your favor . "

"There's no need for that . I will be happy enough if you don't hold a grudge against me for snatching your estate from you," said Xiang Shaoyun with a wave of his hand .

"Haha . Do you think I, Liang Zhuangmin, will bear a grudge for something so trivial?" said Liang Zhuangmin . "Although it was indeed embarrassing for me, it's not like I haven't been an embarrassment these years . You've probably heard about me, right? A mere estate is nothing compared to the prospects of entering the Skysoar Realm . " 

As Liang Zhuangmin spoke, a helpless look covered his face . Evidently, he had not expected himself to be stuck at the Transformation Realm for so many years either .

"With your talent, entering the Skysoar Realm shouldn't be difficult at all . Why are you stuck, then?" asked Xiang Shaoyun curiously .

"Yes, it's supposed to be easy . But at times, things will turn out contrary to what one would expect," said Liang Zhuangmin with a look of pain . From his expression, he seemed to have a trouble that was hard to talk about .

"Let's leave this place first . This is the territory of the cannibals . They can find us too easily here," suggested Xiang Shaoyun .
